Mapping potential surface contributions to reflected solar radiation
Environmental Research Communications, 2022 Modifying Earth’s albedo is one of the strategies considered to reduce its energy imbalance and slow global warming by reflecting solar energy. Atmospheric contributions to reflected solar radiation through stratospheric aerosols or cloud brightening ...

Decadal Changes of the Reflected Solar Radiation and the Earth Energy Imbalance [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2019 Decadal changes of the Reflected Solar Radiation (RSR) as measured by CERES from 2000 to 2018 are analysed. For both polar regions, changes of the clear-sky RSR correlate well with changes of the Sea Ice Extent. In the Arctic, sea ice is clearly melting,

Comparison of theoretical and isotropic models of incoming solar radiation for the tilted, fixed, flat-plate solar collector southoriented [PDF]
Tehnika, 2022 Knowing the intensity of incoming solar radiation is the starting point for any further analysis of the thermal performance of (all) solar collectors. A large number of existing theoretical models (both isotropic and anisotropic) can be justified by the ...

Effect of snow-covered ground albedo on the accuracy of air temperature measurements [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2021 Solar radiation is one of the main factors which introduce significant deviations between thermometers reading and true air temperature value. Techniques to protect the sensors from direct radiative influence have been adopted almost since the beginning ...
